This team is a joke right now...I was watching until Oakland loaded the bases up, which is when I suspected the game would be broken wide open. Now I'm watching the Bills-Saints preseason game.

Now that I look, I see there's 1 out and they have the bases loaded, down 8-2 with Thames up to bat.

MARCUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

MARCUS!

The crowd's into it now, looks like we got the momentum on our side...now if only we can capitalize.

Man, the last 3 weeks when I've asked myself "well the pitching can't be as worse today as it was yesterday", it does get worse...

Thames- GS...please win this f-ing game Detroit,....please

McBride was smokin there for a while. Hope he can keep it up.

Sheffield homered earlier? I missed it, but it's a good sign for sure.

Things looking up...8-7.

...and there goes the momentum, Jack fuckin' Cust with a granny to make it 12-9 Oakland.

14 runs in 5 1/3 against the 2nd worst offense in the AL? tigers pitching is an absolute joke right now. mcbride with a very grilli-esque hit batter, BB, BB, GS sequence. gamecast says miner has an era of 2.77, but BA against of 314. that can't be right

What a fucked up game.

Good thing I cut Cust from my fantasy team this morning.

k. suzuki must feel like a douche bag. The A's have sent 12 guys to the plate this innings, and suzuki is 0-2 with 2k's while the rest of the team is still hitting. just 6 more batters til suzuki is up again.

Tigers don't care how bad your offense is. Look at Dioner Navarro. Came in batting .189 with 3 HR and 21 RBI for the SEASON! For the series, he was .500 with 2 HR and 4 RBI.

Tigers pitching, the cure for your offensive woes.

Other teams must've picked up on Gum Time from last year and decided to use it for themselves....needless to say it's working.

Marcus Thames, good god...1-0 Tigers. Finally an early lead.

3-2 Tigers, please for the love of god give Verlander & Jones some insurance runs.

tigers taking a ton of pitches today. signs of life. if we pull out of this lull now, it wouldnt have cost us anything at all.

One more win, and that makes two. Win three, and that's what we like to call a winning streak. It has happened before.

Didn't catch the game, slept in until about 4:30, but we won 11-6...I guess that's good.

Maggs with 2 HR in the same inning. That's good stuff.

I was a little more focused on the US Open and a Sunday afternoon nap.

US Open reruns? :)

The PGA Championship never seems like a major to me. Congrats to Tiger for holding on to win it. Thought it was going to slip away there for a little bit.

Yeah, whatever, that thing that Tiger won today. To me, it's the Masters, the British, and those other two.
You gotta love Woody "Tobasco" Austin making a run.

Oh, and the Indians lost. Nice. The next two weeks decide EVERYTHING. Finale against Oakland followed by 13 straight against Cleveland and New York.

CLE, NYY, CLE, NYY coming up. Huge series in the race.

God fucking damnit, 2-0 Oakland off a 2 run homer by Ellis.

Nice catch by Granderson at the center field wall. It appears this season a shot to center field isn't an automatic out anymore.

2 on, nobody out, for the Sheff...looks good.

Alright, 2-2, Durbin just got a 1-2-3 inning...I think he may be settling in.
